1. From Guangzhou to Zhaoqing, it usually takes two hours to drive (55, starting from Tianhe, going directly to the square). You can take the train (20, you need to transfer), which takes 2 and a half hours.
2. It was almost evening when I arrived in Zhaoqing on the first day. I settled in Home Inn (actually there is a Qi Tian opposite the square, you can see it as soon as you get off the car. It is closer to Qixingyan but more expensive). You can probably walk We arrived at Archway Square in ten minutes. The next morning I went to RT-Mart (a nearby supermarket) and went to Qixingyan. I entered from the north gate, I forgot the details. Then I walked around inside for about two hours, and then came out. We rented bicycles at the Archway Square (20 a day), but the bicycles were not allowed inside. They were too big inside, and climbing was too strenuous. So we just went out and rode bicycles. Later, we rode around the lake for about three hours, and stopped by the train station to buy tickets to go back to Guangzhou the next day. The process is actually quite fun, you can try it too. There will be a musical fountain at 8:00 or 8:30 in the evening, which I think is okay. I also visited the night market there, and I felt that things are very cheap, and you can bargain hard. I was exhausted from going back to the hotel after a day. On the third morning, I went to bed late at 10 o'clock before taking the bus to Dinghu. However, Dinghu didn't feel as fun as Xinghu. My classmates also went to that inkstone village. I was in a hurry and didn't go there. You can check it out. There are many Zhaoqing specialties outside Dinghu, and they are all good. ps: Remember to bring your student ID card
3. After returning from Dinghu, we took the bus back to the city to get our luggage (it was stored at RT-Mart at that time, and carrying too many things to the scenic spot would be exhausting), and then transferred to the bus Went to the train station, about 4:30 in the afternoon, and headed home.
